This music-filled beach fest finds popular surfer Mike Samson (Tommy Kirk) falling for highbrow cutie Delilah Dawes (Deborah Walley), who won't give the conceited womanizer the time of day. So Mike does what any red-blooded American male would do: He makes himself over into a nerdy "twin brother," and attempts to win the lady's heart. But, when magazine publisher Harvey Pulp (Jack Bernardi) sponsors a series of races in which Delilah will compete with Mike, his cover just might be blown.

Audience Member another beach party/blanket bingo knock-off Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a Bikini World (1967) -- [1.0] -- Tommy Kirk poses as a dork to win the affections of a smart lass. The whole thing takes place on a beach, but no amount of flesh in the world can save this stinker. No one's interesting, nothing matters, and for a beach movie, it's as sexy as a funeral. The movie's worst offense is the music and dancing. Every ten minutes the story (such that it is) grinds to a halt for a random and tediously horrendous song accompanied by that ugly butt-twisting the kids did back then. Bad, bad stuff. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not to be confused with the "Beaach Party" movies with FRankie and Annette. A typixal good attempt that falls flat on it's face,saved from the 1 styar nark with a great soundtrack with The Animals,The Toys, and a few other great 6o's band. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member There's nothing like a good beach party movie, and this is *nothing* like a good beach party movie. Tommy Kirk not only looks too old here but actually looks physically ill for most of the movie. The creepy dungeon-themed club rock club the kids hang out at was a nice touch. Also appreciated: the climactic multi-event, cross-country relay race included mandatory hitchhiking, which almost made up for how endless that overall montage was.
